Bar Code Scanners and Enterprise Settings
The following types of bar code scanners are supported on the Thor VM3:
•
A tethered scanner connected to COM1 or COM2
•
A wireless scanner connected via Bluetooth
Note:
USB scanners are not supported by or configured through Enterprise Settings. See
.
The scanner symbologies can be updated through Enterprise data collection software.
Serial Scanners
To configure a particular scanner to work with Enterprise data collection software,
select Start > Control Panel > Enterprise Settings > Data Collection > Tethered Scanner >
Tethered Scanner (COM1) or (COM2) > Scanner Settings.
Select the appropriate scanner model (SR Intermec Scanner, ASCII, SR60). By default,
both COM1 and COM2 are opened so the appropriate scanners (see below) can work
without changing factory defaults:
Tethered Scanner (COM1)
By default the Scanner Model is set to SR Intermec Scanner, which covers models such
as SR61T, SR30, and SR31.
Tethered Scanner (COM2)
By default the Scanner Model is set to ASCII to connect with a scanner with baud rate of
9600, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stopbit, and no flow control.
Bluetooth Scanners
for information on connecting Bluetooth scanners.
Always use Enterprise Settings to configure Bluetooth parameters. Do not use the Blue-
tooth configuration options available from the Bluetooth icon in the system tray.
USB Scanners
When a HID enabled USB scanner is connected to the Thor VM3 the scanned data is
transmitted to the active windows as keystroke messages. Any data handling to be
applied to the scanned data (for example to strip leading or trailing characters) must be
programmed into the scan engine. This is done by scanning configuration bar codes
from the scanner manufacturer or handled by the application accepting the data. Note
that Enterprise Settings data collection does not support USB Scanners.
